Preventing ugly hyperlinks in Word-generated PDFs?
- by Jay Levitt
I'm creating a document in Word 2007 on Windows XP, and using the "Save As PDF" add-in. The document contains hyperlinks.
When I open that PDF in Preview.app on a Mac (OS X 10.5.8), I see ugly boxes around all the hyperlinks. I've tried editing the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 on the Mac, but the boxes don't show up there. If I select a hyperlink anyway with the Link Tool, right-click, and select "Properties..." no properties dialog ever appears.
I want the links to be clickable, but I want them to look decent. How can I fix them? I don't have Acrobat for Windows.
